Abstract

The influence of static disorder on the optical properties of microcavity-embedded quantum wells is studied by means of a microscopic model. Both the exciton-photon coupling and the exciton-disorder interaction are treated nonperturbatively. Despite the nonconservation of the in-plane momentum due to disorder, the Rabi splitting is still present. Moreover, the lower polariton is subject to motional narrowing of the spectral response, while for the upper one this effect is less important. This result shows very good agreement with recently observed spectra in high-quality samples.

Mood disorder

A mood disorder, also known as an affective disorder, is any of a group of conditions of mental and behavioral disorder where a disturbance in the person's mood is the main underlying feature. The classification is in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and International Classification of Diseases (ICD).

Polariton

In physics, polaritons pəˈlærᵻtɒnz,_poʊ- are quasiparticles resulting from strong coupling of electromagnetic waves with an electric or magnetic dipole-carrying excitation. They are an expression of the common quantum phenomenon known as level repulsion, also known as the avoided crossing principle. Polaritons describe the crossing of the dispersion of light with any interacting resonance. To this extent polaritons can also be thought of as the new normal modes of a given material or structure arising from the strong coupling of the bare modes, which are the photon and the dipolar oscillation.

Anxiety disorder

Anxiety disorders are a cluster of mental disorders characterized by significant and uncontrollable feelings of anxiety and fear such that a person's social, occupational, and personal function are significantly impaired. Anxiety may cause physical and cognitive symptoms, such as restlessness, irritability, easy fatiguability, difficulty concentrating, increased heart rate, chest pain, abdominal pain, and a variety of other symptoms that may vary based on the individual.
